Bookkeeping All-in-One For Dummies : Epstein, Lita, Tracy, John A.: desertcart.ae: Books Review: I was having problems understanding the debits and credits in double-entry accounting, how they are applied to the different financial statements. This book is basic and explains just enough for beginners, without overwhelming them and give them enough knowledge to become a bookkeeper if they want to. This may not be the book for business owners who want to understand financial statements their accountants give them but will give a better understanding of what bookkeepers go through and how detailed the work can be. The authors organized the chapters in an easy to read, explaining the basics first and then going through the bookkeeping process to the closing at the end of the year. When it came to recommending software, they came up short and didn't mention Xero which seems to be an upcoming software. This is the book if you want to learn about bookkeeping. You won't regret it. Review: Be aware this is a US edition despite claiming UK one.

No soy contador, soy ingeniero, pero lleve la materia y me he dado cuenta que no mucha gente sabe enseñar contabilidad correctamente. Cuando lleve la materia me quedé con demasiadas dudas, pero este libro me ha explicado las dudas que tenia desde hace años. Incluso en México generalmente pensamos que un contador lleva los libros y aparte realiza análisis, cosa que en USA lo distinguen convenientemente en Bookkeeper y Accountant, y en México se menosprecia la labor del auxiliar contable cuando su labor es el primer paso crítico para que el contador pueda realizar sus análisis financieros correctamente. Este libro te lo explica de manera sencilla, por eso lo recomienda totalmente.

So far I have only read about half of the book. The first half seems to be more concerned with accounting fraud than anything else. Whenever I read a few pages it seems that something about "cooking the books" comes up and I roll my eyes and put it down. I was hoping to read about accounting transactions, and how to post them and the accounting cycle.
